When I Was Done Dying

作词 : Dan Deacon

When I was done dying

My conscience regained

So I began my struggle

A nothingness strained

Out a flash made of time

My new form blasted out

And it startled me so

And I burst out a shout

At which my legs ran frantic

Like birds from a nest

And I ran until drained

Leaving no choice but rest

So I fell asleep softly

At the edge of a cave

But I should have gone in deeper

But I'm not so brave

And like that I was torn out

And thrown in the sky

And I said all my prayers

Because surely I'll die

As I crashed down and smashed into earth, into dirt

How my skin did explode

Leaving only my shirt

But from shirt grew a tree

And then tree grew a fruit

And I became the seed

And that seed was a brute

And I clawed through the ground

With my roots and my leaves

And I tore up the shirt

And I ate up the sleeves

And they laughed out at me

And said "what is your plan?"

But their question was foreign

I could not understand

When then suddenly I'm ripped up

And placed into a mouth

And it swallowed me down at which time I head south

Hey ya ya

So I said

Hey ya ya

Hey ya ya

Hey hey hey

Hey ya ya

Hey ya ya

Hey ya ya

Hey hey hey

Well I woke up to see them

These two mighty steeds

With their mouths grinning wildly expressing my needs

As they stood there above me

Being flanked on each side

I felt no need to fear them, no reason to hide

So I reached up to touch

But they faded too soon

Yet their mouths still remained

And stacked up towards the moon

How that ladder of mouth waved so soft in the night

And I looked up in awe at that beautiful sight

And I dreamt about climbing into the night sky

But I knew had I touched them

They'd mouth back 'bye bye'

So I got up and walked down the path in the dark

And there deep in the distance

My eye caught a spark

Of a crab twice my size with incredible strength

Oh it greeted me kindly

And then we all drank

And we drooled out together

Right onto the ground

And the ocean grew up quickly right up all around

And the earth looked at me

And said "Wasn't that fun?"

And I replied "I'm sorry if I hurt anyone"

And without even thinking cast me into space

But before she did that

She wiped off my own face

She said better luck next time

Don't worry so much

Without ears I couldn't hear

I could just feel the touch

As I feel asleep softly

At the edge of a cave

But I should have gone deeper

But I'm not so brave

I said

Hey ya ya
